Bigger Than Hollywood

Woohoo, the episode none of us were sure we would ever reach - it's time to celebrate Ant Workshop's first birthday. Tony talks over the exciting times since the last podcast (have we been Greenlit yet? SPOILER: Yes) and then goes in to a little bit of a retrospective about what's been achieved in the last 12 months, and what he wishes he could go back in time and tell himself. Garageband gets in on the excitement by pretending to lose 30 minutes of the recording, and there are even some listener questions. As ever you can get in touch via twitter @freakyzoid @antworkshop or by emailing podcast@ant-workshop.com Maybe you'd like to say happy birthday, or send us an e-card. Or some Actual-money. Or how about, if you've listened this far and enjoy the podcast, telling at least one friend about it? The person who brings in the most listeners wins our coveted "current favourite listener" award.

Who's that at the door? It's episode 24! Or "the Steam Greenlight one" as I think it will forever be called. Basically we stuck Binaries in to Greenlight just after releasing the last episode, which means Tony has two weeks' worth of experience of what that's like to talk about. Will he succumb to the usual traps of internet pundits and extrapolate for too detailed and precise "learnings" from the scant information available to him? Listen to find out! Have you been to have a look at www.PlayBinaries.com yet, by the way? You really should, it's wonderful. As ever you can get in touch @freakyzoid @antworkshop or by emailing podcast@ant-workshop.com and a heartfelt thank you to the one listener who regularly does. PS: Visit www.PlayBinaries.com

What's that we see? It's episode 23! A week later than expected (sorry to keep you waiting, we know this is very much the highlight of your week) but sounding great. This episode Tony talks about the things he's done to announce the name change for Tealy and Orangey to Binaries (and you can visit www.PlayBinaries.com to see the fruits of these labours). Including making a press kit, making a website, and putting together a trailer, and how all of these things feed in to each other and help you when you come to other sites. Sites such as Steam Greenlight, which Binaries might well be on by the time you read this. You should really check out www.PlayBinaries.com to find out. As ever you can get in touch @freakyzoid @antworkshop or by emailing podcast@ant-workshop.com and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who does. (Nobody does any more *sob*) PS: Visit www.PlayBinaries.com PPS: That title almost works in two ways, because you often get a trail of ants. Unexpectedly appropriate.

In this episode Tony talk about submitting for the IGF, why he almost didn't, and why he's been spending so much time making websites and logos and things. Then, at listener request (yes, really) he talks about today's exciting BREAKING NEWS that ActivisionBlizzard have bought King, what that means for indie games (yes, really), and his thoughts on armchair pundits. Like himself. He also thinks up an idea for a game trailer, live on air! Which is good, because we need one of those. So we're off to listen and remind ourselves of what it was.
